They’re VERY fair! The only ones who fail, deserve to fail for lack of preparation.

It’s not the guide. Simply a screenshot.

The pass rates for the oral, and the type ride are above 90%. The union came in during indoc and showed us the stats, can’t remember but it’s closer to roughly 95% pass rate overall IIRC.

Apparently there are rumors that it’s really low and there aren’t enough sims to be comfortable but that’s simply not the case any more at all. Personally it’s been the most pleasant and low-stress 121 training/testing I’ve experienced

I have heard it has gotten a lot better. It was rough 3-4 years ago during the Jyri regime but it wasn’t impossible then, just required work and dedication. If you think you’re going to sit around the pool everyday while they spoon feed you, you’ll be in for an unpleasant surprise.

I did sit around the pool every day though. Poolside with the iPad on the school days; poolside with a beer on the off days. That’s how I got through.

I can't agree with this more. The oral was super easy and so was the type ride. You already have been told what to know. My whole class was well prepared cos we worked together and we had 100%. We would meet up after class at the pool or BBQ and quiz each other every day. Instructors and Examiners were very happy with my class.
